    It was returning from a flypast at Uckfield for a 50th birthday surprise.

    Nice present!

    Verry funny considering the 185 floatplane I flew can stop in 50 metres…

    I heard the phrase comes from 9 yards of ammo in a P51.

    Is there some other place I need to go for the benefit of his Spitfire related wisdom?

    All three of Ulrich Steinhilper’s books in his war memoirs trilogy would make a film each, together they would make one hell of a movie.

    “Ten Minutes to Buffalo” anyone?

    How about “Rudel” then we could get some new build Stukas!

    spitfire (kent spitfire?) displaying at Biggin Hill about 11:30 today,saw it in the distance from Orpington

    Yup, beautiful tight display by Dan Griffiths for the remembrance service at St, Georges Chapel, against a very low cloudbase. Contrails off the wingtips and all. Fantastic!

    within the prop arc surely this would obscure the image and why paint it red?

    Not a problem when the prop is spinning. 🙂

    I know a small note, but isn’t the PA474 not authorised to take formations with aircraft other than those of the RAF.
    Cheers, Huw:)

    It formated with a certain vulcan last year at Waddington

    Joe Public wouldn’t give a (fill in appropriately) if an airframes was original unrestored but would comment on the shabby appearance.

    Any ideas (and keep it constructive).

    Cees

    Joe Public wouldn’t be sufficiently informed to decide what’s right or most appropriate.

    After all, Joe Public votes for X factor, so I’d be careful what decisions were left in their hands.
